'“The brightest - and darkest - new act of the year thrills with beautiful vocals, plaintive violin and moody dream-pop. Stylish local quartet Bella Koshka’s debut opus...combines the pleasures of live/electronic collage, string arrangements and a compelling vocalist. Laura Boland whispers, sighs and trills through her dark, grown-up poetry; Hilary Davis’ violin adds lithesome textures, and the overall effect is something like a lost classic from the underground British dream-pop label 4AD.” '~ - Simon Peter Groebner [Star Tribune / Vita.MN] '“Bella Koshka has been...buzzing to the top of the local music scene.” '~ - Rich Horton [Rift Magazine] '“Looking for a little violin-led gothic pop to get you through winter in archly dramatic style? Well, look no further, Bella Koshka is here, and they’ve cooked up a bewitchingly baroque musical experience on their debut album...If I’m hard pressed to make a comparison I guess I’ll go ahead and say it sounds a bit like a skewed blend of Kristin Hersh and Andrew Bird (in other words, it’s strikingly original). In particular I find the moments when Bella Koshka allow a little light to poke through their musical darkness most affecting, such as on the sumptuous piano ballad “Stitches”...expect to be hearing plenty more from this intriguing new group in the months to come.” 01. compass 02. relic 03. fiction 04. paint the sky 05. coma * 06. replicant 07. home * '~ - Rob Van Alstyne [Reveille Magazine] |
